Liverpool v Aston Villa - Pre match thread

[Singapore Villa]

You've had a poor start to the season.
You're not playing well.
Your manager is under pressure.


But don't panic.  Look who you've got up next... AVFC. The fixture most guaranteed to put a club or out of form striker's season back on track...

You beat me to it.  Exactly what I was/am thinking.

^^ it's about time that this very annoying habit stopped. Villa have a great chance of getting something at Anfield so I hope we don't allow them, or Stoke City to kick start their season.

a very weird dream session last night !

We were 2 goals up very early on and I had to visit the dentist , when I came out the result was 2-7 for a remarkable win.

This can't happen can it?

We will either nick a win and edge Rodgers closer to the exit door (or possibly even out of it) or they will do us about 3-0 and he will buy himself a few more weeks. I think we will certainly find out one way or another whether he has lost the players or not by their performance or non performance for him.

I'm not sure how many dentists are open on a Saturday afternoon.

Is Adama back for this one?

Would love to see an attacking line-up of

                            Gestede
   
Adama                  Grealish         Ayew


                     Sanchez      Veretout

I really think we can take these fuckers. Rogers is under pressure so if we can keep them quiet at the start, get their fans on his back then hit them with a second half like we did on Tuesday.

Time for Gabby to be dropped too. Ayew deserves a start after how well he did on Tuesday.

Can't see a clean sheet but I'll go 2 - 1.

I don't think we're good enough to play just two in midfield to be honest.

[damon loves JT]

I think it depends whether Rodgers' team is playing to get him sacked. I suspect not yet. We will probably play well and not get what we deserve.

[Tony Erdington]

wouldnt be the first time Aston Villa had got a manager the sack! that is one that doesnt manage Villa

[aj2k77]

Haven't we had a very good record the last few seasons of putting the coup de grace on managers who have been under pressure? The closer we get the more I'm feeling we might just finish off Rodgers. I change my mind to a hopeful 2-1 Villa, Gestede winner again.

[Duncan Shaw]

I've had a couple of Liverpool fans come up to me at work today saying they hope we win to push him over the edge!!

[Hookeysmith]

I have a feeling that tomorrow is the day we click - not sure we will win but I feel that we finally start to see the start of a decent side

[nodge]

Looking at the morning papers it's almost as if we are now under pressure to win and get him the sack to give them something to write about. Also, I bet there are a good few Liverpool fans who'd take a loss to get rid of him, there certainly is on my FB feed.  It'll be a huge anti climax for them all if Liverpool win 3-0.
